Saturday's Blurbs - Books by Alanna Lucas

A masquerade, a chance meeting, and a kidnapping:
Little did Miss Penelope Ashurst realize that breaking the rules would result
in the adventure—and love—of a lifetime.

UNSEEN

Miss
Eva Kenward left England with a dream, but when she finds herself stranded on
the rugged frontier of Montana with a babe in arms, only one man—a handsome
cowboy—can make that holiday wish come true.

HOLIDAY
SURPRISES

Miss
Eva Kenward does not want to spend another Christmas alone. Leaving Queen
Victoria’s England, she journeys to America in search of an uncle but finds
herself on the rugged frontier of Montana. And with no money and no
acquaintances, the rudest man she has ever met is the one she must engage.
Especially considering the precious bundle in her arms.

“Hunt” Strauss has been fooled before
by beauty. So when the ravishing young woman arrives on his doorstep, he
suspects her of ulterior motives. But perhaps the baby she holds truly is his
kin...and when Miss Kenward finds herself stranded after a hotel fire, he
reluctantly agrees to help. Bringing her to his sprawling ranch, Hunt tries to
keep his distance. But the enticing woman and her enthusiasm for the season
soon prove that fairy tale love stories—and holiday wishes—really can come
true.

Trust, patience, and mistletoe must overcome a forced marriage, dark
secrets, and a looming shadow that threatens all chance of Faith finding love
with the Marquess of Hawthorne.

Holiday Wish

Marcus, the
Marquess of Hawthorne, vowed never to fall in love. He should have vowed never
to marry. Caught in a compromising situation, he’s been forced to wed the young
woman he was trying to rescue. Beautiful? Yes. But his new bride’s
apprehensions seem worse than his own, and as family and friends arrive at Deer
Park to celebrate Christmastide, all he wants is for Faith to play the part of
a happy wife and hostess.

She will not, however—or cannot. And when she commits yet another desperate
act, this time with disastrous results, Marcus must save Faith once again. Now
he must discover what drives her, what dark secrets keep her unable to trust or
love, and what she truly desires. Only then will they, with the magic of
mistletoe, overcome the pasts and taste the delights of the season.

One night. That’s all Miss Penelope Ashurst wants
away from the strict decorum of Regency society. Donning a mask and attending a
forbidden masquerade, she meets the man of her dreams. Then, before she
discovers his identity, she is kidnapped.

UNTASTED

From their first encounter, his goddess in a
golden mask stirs a deep and different longing within Ranulph, the Earl of
Monfort. When she disappears, he vows he will find her no matter the cost.

UNSTOPPABLE

Soon it’s a race against time, and the kidnappers
are just the start. Penelope and Ranulph’s very lives are in jeopardy. Before
the end, everything will be stripped away, and Penelope and Ranulph will be
more than just face-to-face. But this is true love, and nothing will stop it.

Nigel Rochefort succeeds at everything he
attempts, but burying his family in scandal and breaking up a wedding while
seducing the bride is not quite what he
had in mind. Nor was finding true love.

STEP
BY STEP

Miss Artemisia Germayne is used to gossip. She is far from
the ton’s version of an ideal beauty. Worse still, she cannot dance.
But when she finds herself in the uncomfortable predicament of abandonment on
her wedding day, embarrassed and humiliated she retreats to the country.

Nigel Rochefort, second son of the Earl of Monfort, has always
taken his good fortune for granted, so when the woman for whom he has a
secret tendre is about to marry
his friend, the only logical thing to do is break up the wedding. But that
scandal is only the start. The bride’s sister has also disappeared, and Nigel
must first clear his name to assure Artemisia’s affections. As he gives chase,
many truths are yet to be learned. This is no simple country dance or game of
seduction but an unstoppable waltz of desire—and true love.
